Handleiding

Tips and Additionally Required Materials

You will need two AA baeries (1.5-volt) which are not included in the kit due to

their limited shelf life.

You will ﬁnd the larger kit components packed in the compartments of the box. All of

the smaller pieces are packed in plastic pouches. Please be careful not to lose any of

the small pieces when you open the pouches!

For a few of the experiments, you will need to provide additional common household

items (matches, skewers, tealight candles in aluminum containers, paper napkins,

transparent adhesive tape, permanent marking pen, quart-sized plastic drinking

bole, freezer bag or plastic shopping bag, etc.).

You will see a paern for the sail of the sail car (see the Workshop on page 14). Trace

the lines with a permanent marking pen onto a freezer bag or a sheet of plastic from

a good-quality plastic shopping bag, and cut the sail out with scissors.

The rotor blades for the wind-power plant (page 73) will be assembled from pieces

from the die-cut sheets. If you want to leave the wind power generator outside for

a long time, you will need to cut the blades and tailpiece out of plastic. Just get a

couple of thick ﬂexible plastic presentation folders from a stationery store — they

come in a variety of colors and thicknesses. If you have plastic folders that are too

thin, you can make the blades and tailpiece out of two layers held together with

tape. To get the size and shape of the plastic pieces right, trace around the die-cut

paper pieces with a waterproof marker.

In a few of the models, the axles will also have to be lengthened. The best way to

do that is to connect two axle shafts with a small gear wheel. Just insert one end

of each axle into the gear wheel from each side. To make it super-secure, you can

strengthen the clamp by inserting a bit of tissue paper into the gear wheel hole

before inserting the axles.

Throughout this kit, the Metric System of units is used instead of the Imperial System of

units. Although you may be more comfortable with units from the Imperial System such

as inches and feet, scientists around the world use the Metric System in order to be able to

clearly communicate with each other without the need for conversion. Thus, since this is

a science kit, we will use the Metric System as well. For your reference, 1 inch equals 2.54

centimeters. There is a ruler printed at the back of the book.

34. Die-Cut Paper Sheets (x1)

Remove each individual piece as you need it for its experiment. If any bits of paper remain

aached to one of the pieces, just remove them carefully with a pair of scissors.

35. Waterwheel Paddles (x8)

These ﬂat plastic panels are inserted into the large gears to make a simple waterwheel.

36. Length of String (x1)

This is required for some of the models.
